    Summary

    “Have you considered the possibility that Neil has chosen you, but believes you have not chosen him?” Renee says. "Have you ever explicitly told him what you want?”

    “Neil knows what I want,” Andrew snaps. This is not Andrew’s fault.

    “How do you know?”

    Because Neil always knows. He is as fluent in Andrew’s micro-expressions as he is in German and French. He knows which head tilts mean “go on” and which ones mean “shut up.” Without ever asking, he learned what it meant to see Andrew wearing double layers of long sleeves, or taking multiple showers in a day, and learned to hand Andrew the car keys.

    That has always been the most terrifying thing about Neil — his patience to wait, watch, listen, learn. The prospect that if Neil were given enough time, there would be no part of Andrew that was just Andrew’s anymore.

    “He has to know,” Andrew says.

    “Does he?” Renee says. “Have you ever known Neil to assume that he is wanted?”

    Five times Neil tells someone that he and Andrew aren’t dating, and one time Andrew uses his words to set the record straight.

    Summary

    Regulus Black is not a person who was born - he is a fire that was set.

    GRIEF
    [ɡriːf] – Noun, French:
    - ' 𝘎𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘧 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘥𝘦𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘵, 𝘪𝘯 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩 𝘰𝘧 𝘢 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘭 𝘵𝘰 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘢 𝘣𝘰𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘳 𝘢𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘦𝘥. '

    OR: Regulus is everything his parents raised him to be. James wholeheartedly disagrees. As hearts become tangled, the Dark Lord's war brews behind the scenes, and James isn't sure love is enough to stop Sirius' younger brother anymore - because love doesn't conquer everything.

    And anyone who thinks it does is a fool.

    Summary

    No one, it turns out, really knows one another.

     

    (OR: all it takes is a summer-long holiday in Italy, James Potter's teetering mental stability, a secret relationship, friends with benefits, Marlene’s secret, and enough stupidity and insecurity to go around for everything to come crashing down around them.)

    Summary

    Andrew sinks into the couch as Neil’s warmth melts through hm.

    For so long, touch had been nothing but pain. A tally of someone else’s control over his body.

    But here Neil is: his pink cheek resting lazily on Andrew’s knee and his trust tucked snugly into the curve of Andrew’s lap as if there is nowhere safer for it to be.

    Neil touches him – and Andrew realises that not a single trace of hurt exists within it.

    Early life taught Andrew that touch and care bring nothing but pain.

    Neil, however, is insistent on showing him how utterly devoid of violence it can be – to want and be wanted.

    Or

    Andrew and Neil learn how to redefine what touch and care mean to them
